| Description of the problem | We had engine recall for last 2 years. Had all recalls taken care of including the dealer listening to engine & 2 weeks ago installing a sensor. This sensor supposed to if needed set off check engine lights & reduce power to 50% so you can safely get to a dealer. My daughter was driving on a major highway when engine lights came on & she lost all power and car stalled in middle of a merge lane. No warning or reduction in power, stalled where it stopped. I came & parked behind her with my 2017 tuscon waiting for a tow truck. This sensor recall did not work for us & put my daughter in real danger & gave me a false sense of security in this recall. I want nothing but for no one to get hurt. Please fix this issue, its not helping its going to make it worse. Waiting for new engine, dealer says on back order |
